Interview: A Conversation On Provocation And Design Polarization With Roger Dubuis CEO Jean-Marc Pon
There are two main similarities between a Lamborghini Veneno Roadster and?the watches of Roger Dubuis.?Both take an extreme approach to design relative to their respective industries. And inside of both are skillfully crafted engines, the former automotive and the latter horological. This is not so much of a paradox for the Veneno, but more so for modern Roger Dubuis watches?because (to wristwatch purists)?they?flout most of the classical design concepts generally associated?with?beautifully-made?in-house movements. In a conversation with Roger Dubuis CEO Jean-Marc Pontroue,?he explained how the perceived incongruence between polarizing designs?and technical merit can actually work in a company's favor.HODINKEE: Why does Roger Dubuis place such a great emphasis?on producing in-house movements?when the designs are so extravagant? There are a number of brands that get away with focusing almost solely on external aesthetics, without paying very much attention to the movement.Jean-Marc Pon

I think I found my new pre owned speedy 9300. All boxes and cards. It's missing the red dot on the case. Would this bother you? It's from 2012. Thanks.

Anyone knows the UK price for 5296G-010 ?
I am flying to London soon and I was wondering if anyone here knows the current retail price of the 5296G-010 and how much VAT will be actually deducted at the airport. I know the VAT rate is 20% but guys like Global Blue understandably take a chunk out of that for themselves.Appreciate your input.

What kind of discount on a TT Datejust?
My gf is looking to purchase a TT Datejust 36. What kind of discount can we expect to get? I recently got my BLNR from this AD but of course did not get a discount. Also they had two Subs in the display case (date and no date) as of yesterday.
